Permanent Hair Loss?
I'm wondering if others like me have ended up with a degree of permanent hair loss? I've always had thick hair. No longer. I had AC followed by Docetaxel and now 15 months after the end of those ...
Hi Katie, you have every right to be upset.Its docetaxol and we should be warned that there is a possibility of permanent baldness with this drug. A group of women in America (taxotears)are trying to take legal action against the drug company. my hair took so long to start growing back after that drug that I feared the worst- I know how you are feeling. My hair eventually grew back ok,although a little thinner on one side. My boob won't grow back though! We pay very high prices to rid ourselves of cancer.We are supposed to shut up and be grateful we are alive but then that just adds guilt to the mix of emotions.We learn to adjust but we are all broken dolls who can still love and be loved.
